I have been lucky enough to mix a freelance career with longer stints as a senior designer and art director for companies like Maniac Magazine and Scriptura and as an Art and Technology teacher at the Jewish Academy of Orlando. My work has been featured in magazines, ad campaigns, packaging, websites, company van exteriors, billboards and on public transit. Working directly with company owners, art directors, and as head designer on many projects I've learned to push the limits of my design work and client expectations to create new originative designs.
